I think the Coons for Howard replacement is obvious. Unless you think Howard somehow went from a terrible shooter to decent like Ben is trying to suggest by his practice numbers everything that Howard does well Coons is better at. Coons is a bigger, quicker and more physical defender that at least give you the alley top option at the other end. Also hoping against the top teams Mckeever can give us 30 with Pear the other 10. Pear still doesn't look physical enough on the boards and is good to give up 2-3 easy buckets a game that may be the difference with the small margins this team will be dealing with.
